In a January long ago, I sent out the first “Tip of the Week”.  

One of the benefits of doing the same thing over and over again for a long time is this.  You begin to develop a reputation.  Back when I started doing this, I had to come up with my own tips.  

These days, people often email me with tips.  I often share those tips with everyone else.  

Over the break, one reader, Mary S. Sent this email to me.

Happy New Year!  Over my holiday break I was checking into some new language learning resources.  I looked at Dreaming Spanish (that you recommended) but also found a couple other content creators that I think you’ll enjoy. 

Mary then linked the following video:

 

If you are learning a new language, I suggest you check this video out.  

In the video, a young woman from France explains how she taught herself Norwegian.  She put in a lot of hard work.  She is now fluent.  After a brief opening in Norwegian, she explains her process in English.

I have used many of the tips she shares in this video.  From experience, I can tell you, they work.  

If you are trying to learn a new language in 2024, start by watching the video.  Then, start and hold on tight.

Good luck!
